Sunday the 17th for another try. I am busy the next few days so I can't babysit the pc.
Hey, philipma1957, like kenshirothefist said a few posts back - why the heck aren't you using
NiceHashBot? It will do the babysitting for you ... all you have to do is to run a simple app...
That app is easier but it does have no ability to think 2 moves ahead. Lets say you are at 0.0097 a th with 500 th and some one is at 0.0096 with 400th just under you. Your max setting is 0.0100
Someone does a very small max order which does not last long puts it in for 0.0099 if I see this I think 2 moves ahead and do nothing the small max order burns up . The bot sees this and moves my order to 0.0100 I am pretty much anti bot for this type of renting. A lot of people all using bots basically tends to drive the renting price upwards more then babysitting the site does.

Hmm, a bot should be making sure you profit the best, not the pool.
I guess their bot programmer isn't very good or is happy to make the pool profit more.
I wonder which it is
My guess is the bot programmer wasn't thinking of scenarios like this. Likely the bot just says, "give me a min/max range and I'll make sure that I maintain orders for you within that range". It'd need to have a bit of intelligence to be able to say, "ok... somebody just outbid me, but that bid is going to burn through very quickly because he didn't put a whole lot of coin behind it, so I'll not bother getting into a bidding war with him and just let my current order ride it out."
Of course even then the bot would have to have some kind of parameter to limit that behavior, otherwise it could be that it would never move ahead if a number of small coin orders keep flowing in that are just above your rate...
Example:
You have 10
BTC in an order and put a range of 0.0097 - 0.0101.
A bunch of people throw in 0.1
BTC orders at 0.0100.
Wow... I'm way off topic
Congrats to the latest block finder! Phil - I sent you a PM re: ck solo club episode 3.
200 billion should have got you a block, unless it became an orphan if I'm not mistaken.
What address are you mining to so we can have a look?
No, 200 billion is (currently) only 420% which has a CDF of 0.985 ...
which means 1.5% of the time it should average to take longer than 200 billion at the current difficulty.
I read it as he found a diff 200G share... such a share would indeed find a block and he'd get the reward unless the block was orphaned.
